💁🏾♀️It’s the upholding transparency in our local elections for me! (Full story below)

🔸Tuesday, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors could make a decision that will change what elections look like in the future.
The five members on the board might increase the amount of an individual contribution to a candidate during a county election to $25,000.
This amount is $22,000 more than what a state law taking effect Jan. 1 would call for unless a local government sets its own limit.
That hike is requested by District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert and Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones for 2022. It could mean $50,000 overall from an individual contributor in a race with a March primary and a November run-off.
Sonseeahray spoke to Ashley Draper from about the push to keep campaign contributions to a figure closer to $1,500.
